Additional Information

 

Please read ALL information below before beginning the registration process! There are steps you MUST take before clicking on "Sign-Up" to ensure your registration is completed properly. At the very bottom are detailed directions on how to complete the registration form. 

 

 

All YHSA teens ages 14 (as of 4/25/2026) through 2026 Senior are invited to attend the 2026 Spring Formal! Each teen may bring up to 1 guest. The guest MUST be ages 14 (as of 4/25/2026) through 2026 Senior. 

 

 

**Registration is open from Monday, 1/19/2026 through Saturday, 3/21/2026.**

**All payments are due by Saturday, 3/21/2026.** 

 

 

ALL attendees MUST complete registration!!

Guests (nonmembers) will register themselves online!!

NO teen member or their parent is to register their guest! 

 

 

To register: FIRST, read the Dress Code, Code of Conduct, and Parent Medical Release at the bottom of this info page. Teens and parents will have to agree to abide by both codes and parents will have to agree to the parent medical release. You will be asked to indicate your agreement by typing your name in the electronic signature boxes on the sign-up form. Please take these consent forms very seriously. Doing so acts as your signature and will be used as such if an issue should arise. For a printable form of each of the documents, simply click on the hyperlink for that document.  

Once you have read both of the codes and the parent medical release, click on the "sign-up" link below to fill out the online form.

 

 

TEEN MEMBERS: MAKE SURE YOU ARE LOGGED IN BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR REGISTRATION PROCESS!!

GUESTS, you will need the YHSA Teen Member's Name when you register.

 

 

Payment: 

YHSA Members: payment can be made at the time of registration. If you do not pay when you register, the amount due will be added to your YHSA account (you MUST be signed into your account in order for this to happen!). Balances are due by Saturday, 3/21/2026. 

Guests: you will make your own payment and when the form is submitted, you will automatically be directed to the payment page. 

If a teen member is going to pay for their guest, the guest will register themselves and choose the "I am a guest of another teen that is paying for me" price option. 

 

 

Music Requests: 

Each attendee will have the opportunity to request 1 song during their registration. This song should not be a "slow" song and cannot contain inappropriate content or language (no profanity, no alcohol, drug or sexual references, etc). All song requests will be reviewed and if found appropriate, added to our Spring Formal playlist. 

 

A copy of our tentative playlist can be viewed by clicking HERE. 

 

"Slow" songs will be voted by you! We have compiled a list of what was played at last year's event and what requests came in at the event. You can choose 3 songs but be aware that you can only vote for a song once; if you vote for the same song all 3 times, it will only count as 1 vote.

 

 

Volunteers:

In order to host this event, we need parents (or grandparents) to volunteer! All volunteers must be YHSA members and have their clearances on file with YHSA. The clearances needed are: Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance, PA State Police Criminal Background Check, and the FBI Clearance. If you don't have these, you can get them by visiting our Pennsylvania Clearances for Volunteers page (click HERE) and choose the option that fits (Resident less than 10 years or Resident 10 years or more). Clearances should be sent to our Clearance Organizer (yhsaclearances@gmail.com) before April 15th.

  

Chaperones: chaperones will need to be there from 5:00pm until 10:00pm. They are responsible for assisting with check-in/registration at the beginning of the event and for helping keep an eye on all areas of the venue throughout the event. Chaperones must be parents or grandparents. We need a total of 15 chaperones. 

 

Photographers: Photographers will need to be there from 5:00pm until 10:00pm. They will work together to ensure we get pictures of all the different areas prior to the doors opening for the attendees. As attendees enter, they will take pictures of them coming in. They will move around the venue throughout the event to ensure we get as many photos of the event as possible. Photographers will need to have their own equipment. We will have one "album" for all attendees to view; login information will be sent to the photographers so they can upload the pictures to the album. Photographers must be 21 or older. We need a total of 3 photographers. 

 

Event Clean Up: We need volunteers to come early to help us get everything cleaned up. These volunteers will arrive at 9:30pm to help get the downstairs areas cleaned up. The event concludes at 10:00pm. At 10:00, these volunteers will assist with cleaning the upstairs areas and loading out everything. We must have everything cleaned up and be out of the venue by 11:00pm (no exceptions).
